Stephen Okechukwu Keshi was a Nigerian defender and manager. He earned 60 caps for Nigeria National Team during his playing career.
Keshi alongside Egypt's Mahmoud El-Gohary, have clinched the Africa Cup Of
Nations (AFCON) both as a player and a manager.
Keshi led Nigeria to the 2013 Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) and discomfited Burkina Faso in the final by a lone goal to clinch the continental trophy.
Sadly, Keshi had a heart attack and died en route to hospital on 7 June 2016 in Benin City, aged 54.
